- FIG. 1 discloses a seat assembly 10 for use in an automotive vehicle.
- the seat assembly 10 includes a generally horizontal seat cushion 11 and a seat back 12.
- Each of the seat cushion 11 and seat back 12 typically comprises a rigid frame structure for supporting a contoured, foam pad encased by a trim cover as conventionally known to one skilled in the art.
- the seat assembly 10 also includes a recliner assembly 13 operatively interconnecting the seat cushion 11 and seat back 12 for pivotal movement of the seat back 12 between a plurality of reclined positions, as shown from D to B, one of which is a predetermined memory position D.
- the memory position is canted rearwardly relative to the vertical.
- the recliner assembly 13 allows pivotal movement of the seat back 12 to a forwardly folded position, as shown from C to A in Figure 1.
- the seat back 12 is biased towards the forwardly folded position.
- the recliner assembly 13 of the present invention is generally illustrated.
- the recliner assembly 13 comprises a pair of disc recliners 15 coupled or ganged together by a hollow rod 17. Both the inboard and outboard disc recliners 15 are symmetrically opposite, which minimizes tooling and ultimately costs.
- Disc recliner 15 generally comprises a guide plate 14, a toothed plate 16, a retaining ring 18, a pair of toothed sliding pawls 20, a cam 22, a pair of springs 24, a bushing 76, a memory plate 100 and a memory return spring 102.
- the guide plate 14 and the toothed plate 16 are held together by the retaining ring 18 in a manner well known in the art.
- the guide plate 14 is generally cup shaped with an outer flange 26, defining an inner circumferential slot or track 28. Positioned in the track 28 is an abutment 30, presenting a stop. Spaced about the bottom surface of the guide plate 14 are a series of islands that define a first guide surface 32 and a second guide surface 34. The first and second guide surfaces 32, 34 cooperate with the sliding pawls 20 to limit travel thereof to a radial direction. First guide surface 32 is longer in length than the second guide surface 34, configuring the guide plate 14 to receive the "hammerhead" shape of the sliding pawls 20.
- a pair of diametrically opposed stubs 36 are positioned normal to the direction of the travel of the sliding pawls 20. Stubs 36 receive springs 24 to provide a biasing force to the cam 22.
- the central bore of plate 14 has a pair of diametrically opposed tabs 38. Tabs 38 engage with bushing 76 and provide a lost motion connection to the rod 17, defining limits of rotation of the rod 17 relative to the guide plate 14, as discussed in further detail below.
- the toothed plate 16 is generally illustrated.
- the toothed plate 16 is generally cup shaped having a flange 40 and a central bore 42.
- the inner surface of the flange 40 has a series of spaced teeth 44.
- the outer surface of the flange 40 has a pair of diametrically opposed abutments 46.
- Toothed plate 16 has a central raised embossment having diametrically opposed tabs 43.
- the inside face of the toothed plate 16 is recessed with the recessed portion defined by stepped cam surface 45 extending circumferentially about the toothed plate 16.
- Pips 104 of the sliding pawls 20 travel along cam surface 45.
- the inner portions 45a of the cam surface are positioned to define an "easy entry" movement of the seat back 12 relative to the seat cushion 11.
- Outer portion 45b defines a range of movement in which the recliner assembly 10 will lock the seat back 12 relative to the seat cushion 11.
- Inner portion 45a defines a range of movement in which the sliding pawls 20 will be prevented from locking with the teeth 44, enabling the seat back 12 to freely rotate forwardly.
- the flange 40 is sized to fit in the track 28 of guide plate 14, enabling the toothed plate 16 to rotate relative to the guide plate 14. As the toothed plate 16 rotates in either direction, abutments 46 with engage with abutment 30 on guide plate 14, thereby providing a travel stop and limiting travel to about 180°.
- the sliding pawls 20 have a "hammerhead" shape, in that the outer arcuate periphery 48 is wider than the sliding pawl body 53.
- the outer periphery 48 has a series of teeth 50 that are complementary to the teeth 44 on toothed plate 16.
- the slide body has a first slide surface 52 that slidingly engages with first guide surface 32 and a second slide surface 54 that slidingly engages with second guide surface 34.
- Slide surfaces 52, 54 are on opposite sides of the pawl body 53 and extend generally parallel to each other. Slide surface 52 is longer in length than slide surface 54.
- the inner peripheral edge of sliding pawls 20 has a cam follower surface defined by lobes or locking surfaces 56, 58 and release hook 60, interposed with recesses 62, 64.
- the "hammerhead" shape of the sliding pawls 20 is preferred since the circumferential length of contact between the sliding pawls 20 and the teeth 44 is increased without increasing the width of the pawl body 53.
- Each of the sliding pawls 20 has a pip 104, preferably arcuate and semi-pierced, formed on the pawl body 53 (See Fig. 3).
- the semi-pierced pips 104 are spaced radially from the toothed surface 50.
- the cam 22 has a cam surface defined by lobes or locking surfaces 66, 68 interposed with recesses.
- the cam surface is complementary to the cam follower surface of the sliding pawls 20, whereby the cam 22 initially urges the sliding pawls outwardly to lockingly engage the sliding pawls 20 with the toothed plate 16 (a locked condition) and as the cam 22 rotates, the sliding pawls 20 can move radially inward until locking surface 68 engages release hook 60 to positively urge the sliding pawls 20 to move radially inward (an unlocked condition) disengaged from the teeth 44.
- the engagement between the locking surface 68 and locking surface 58 provides the majority of the locking force to retain the pawls in engagement with the teeth 44.
- the engagement between the locking surface 66 and locking surface 56 provide an anti-tipping force maintaining the sliding pawls 20 in alignment and preventing binding and the sliding pawls 20 move between the locked position and the unlocked position.
- Cam 22 also has a pair of diametrically opposed spring tabs 70, which are positioned to engage with springs 24 to provide biasing of the cam 22 towards the locked condition.
- Cam 22 has a central bore 72 having a series of circumferentially spaced tabs 74.
- Bushing 76 is snap-fitted into the central bore 72.
- Bushing 76 has an outer peripheral surface that is bowed outwardly, i.e. the diameter of the outer surface is greater at a midpoint than at the inner and outer surfaces.
- the outer circumferential surface has a series of circumferentially spaced ridges or splines 78.
- the circumferential width of each spline 78 is less than the circumferential width of the spacing between tabs 74 on cam 22. This spacing provides a lost motion connection between the bushing 76 and the cam 22.
- the splines 78 each has a tapered hook 80 on the outer surface and each recess has a tapered hook 82, which configuration enables the bushing 76 to be snap fitted onto the cam 22.
- the bushing 76 has a central aperture 84 that is configured to complement the rod 17 in a snug fit.
- bushing 76 is injection molded with an organic resin material, such as NYLONTM.
- Bushing 76 is capable of moving relative to the cam 22, enabling the bushing 76 to receive the rod 17 with a greater degree of freedom and thereby compensate for differences in orientation between the inboard and outboard recliners 15.
- the memory disc 100 has an inner ring 107 and an outer ring 109 separated by a plurality of circumferentially spaced, but at least two, arcuate cut-outs or apertures 106.
- the number of apertures 106 corresponds to the number of pawls 20.
- Each aperture 106 has a stepped cam surface 108 defined by a second outer and a second inner circumferentially extending cam surfaces 110, 112, respectively, separated by a detent 114.
- Second outer cam surface 110 is radially spaced so that the memory disc 100 does not interfere with the pip 104 of the pawls 20 during the pawls locking and unlocking movement relative to teeth 44.
- Second inner cam surface 112 is radially spaced to be slightly greater than cam surface 45 so that the pip 104 of the pawls 20 will engage either second inner cam surface 112 or inner cam surface 45 during the pawls locking and unlocking movement relative to teeth 44, during the forward dumping and return movement.
- Inner ring or hub 107 is embossed relative to ring 109 so that ring 107 is on a different plane than ring 109.
- Ring 107 has a central aperture 11 having two diametrically opposed cutouts 113.
- Inner ring 107 has at least one tang 115.
- the memory disc 100 and the toothed plate 16 are configured so that the memory disc 100 has a lost motion connection with the toothed disc 16 and is capable of rotating relative to the toothed plate 16 for a predetermined amount of travel ⁇ .
- Memory disc 100 is provided with cutout 113 and toothed plate 16 is provided with diametrically opposed tabs 43.
- the circumferential length of cut out 113 determines the arcuate or angular distance ⁇ (i.e. lost motion) that memory plate 100 travels relative to toothed plate 16.
- the arcuate distance is about 4-16°, with 6- 10° being most prefereable.
- Other lost motion arrangements are well known in the art and may be utilized to provide the predetermined travel between the memory disc 100 and the toothed plate 16.
- Spring 102 extends between the spring tang 115 on memory disc 100 and the toothed plate 16 and biases the memory disc 100 in a return direction to a home position wherein the radial edge of the detent 114 aligns with the edge 45c of inner cam surface 45.
- a return direction is the direction that the toothed plate 16 rotates when the seat back 12 and the toothed plate 16 is returning rearwardly from the easy entry position.
- the recliner 13 is in the operating position as shown in Figure 9.
- the memory disc 100 moves with the toothed plate 16 allowing the seat back 12 to move between a generally vertical position to a recline position.
- Memory disc 100 does not interfere with the normal operation of the pawls 20.
- Pip 104 is not in contact with the memory disc 100.
- the pip 104 prevents the memory plate 100 from rotating so that the memory plate 100 will rotate relative to the toothed plate 16 an arcuate amount ⁇ as permitted by tab 43 in cutouts 113, effectively extending the inner cam surface 112 and 45b by the arcuate amount ⁇ . Further rotation of the toothed plate 16 will urge the pawls 20 radially inwardly and thereafter memory plate 100 will travel with the toothed plate 16, and detent 114 will travel along the pip 104.
- the memory disc 100 has traveled the arcuate distance of the cutout 113 the arcuate length of the pip 104 and thereafter disengages with the pip 104, allowing the pawls to re-engage with the toothed plate, to the locked condition.
- the arcuate distance ⁇ of the cutouts 113 corresponds with the desired amount seat back travel beyond vertical to a predetermined memory position.
